The Hilton Effect is the positive world-altering impact that Hilton has had, and continues to have, on billions of lives and thousands of communities around the globe. The Hilton Effect Foundation was launched in 2019 as part of Hilton’s 100th anniversary celebration, to further ensure that the Hilton Effect would continue for generations to come. With the mission to create a better world to travel, the Foundation invests in both organizations and people having a positive impact on the communities Hilton serves, in alignment to Hilton’s Travel with Purpose 2030 Goals to cut our environmental footprint in half and double our social impact investment.

While Hilton and the Hilton Effect Foundation traditionally do not distribute grants or gifts in kind for unsolicited requests, we always welcome learning more about organizations and the great work they do in our communities. We encourage you to review our Community Investment Guidelines which outlines what we do and do not support. If you believe your organization is aligned to the Foundation’s charitable giving priorities, please complete the Community Investment Interest Form and opt to receive email updates regarding our grantmaking processes.
